We have a wide range of clubs and societies and they're a great way to get involved. They can help you meet people, make lasting friendships and even build skills like leadership, communication, project and financial management and public speaking.

Our clubs cover interest areas including course related, political, cultural, religious, social, and focused on areas of interest like art, music, the environment and sport. Whatever you're passion, there's a club for you.

The CrUWSible newspaper is an independent, student-run paper available online and in print. Copies of the CrUWSible newspaper can be found on stands all around campus and are free, so grab a copy. Prefer to get your news online? Check out the latest from the CrUWSible online.

Students are encouraged to submit original articles, stories, artwork, photos, game and movie reviews and anything else you can think of that your fellow students might find interesting. Your submissions help keep CrUWSible the voice of Western Sydney University students.

Making friends in a new environment like university helps you adjust, feel like you belong and provide an invaluable support network throughout your studies and beyond.

We understand that meeting new people and forging friendships can be quite daunting in a new situation so we've put together a few ideas on easy ways you can meet new people and start to build new friendships:

Join a club or society to socialise with other students with similar interests

Sign up to MATES to meet other new students and get advice from more experienced students

Go along to a PASS session to study with other students in your units

Think about getting involved as a Student Representative to really get to know your fellow students and be a leader for them

If at any time you're struggling and feeling alone or overwhelmed, we recommend you speak to a Welfare Officer. You can contact them via the online Ask Welfare tool, over the phone or face to face.
